Recommended Posts

Trying to get my gear sorted for 38/39

 

Already have a few bits including harness

Rope

Bunch of biners

Pulleys

Spurs

Flip line

 

I'm guessing I'll need some Prussik loops and a few more clip.

 

Anybody else got any thoughts??

 

Hoping to get out climbing before I hit the course so I don't look a complete beginner.

Hurry up and do my little patio then we can go for a climb in the woods behind my house You can borrow some bits off me if worse comes to worse. You might want a thicker line than your Srt one for the course, prob work better with the prussiks.

Dual purpose lanyard would prob be better than a wire core for the 38.

Other than that you pretty much got it covered. I'd practice some knots that you'll have to demonstrate.. Bowline, alpine butterfly, blakes hitch, fishermans...
